Description

In a small town, the lives of three generations of midwives intertwine, each carrying their own burdens and secrets. A grandmother, a mother, and a daughter, bound by their shared profession, navigate the complexities of life, love, and the art of delivering new beginnings. As they assist in bringing new life into the world, they are also confronted with the shadowy truths that linger behind their own family dynamics.

The grandmother, steeped in tradition and wisdom, has her own set of hidden experiences that shape her understanding of motherhood and femininity. The mother, caught between honoring her past and forging her path, grapples with her identity and the expectations placed upon her. Meanwhile, the daughter yearns for independence, striving to define her role in a profession that has been both a privilege and a burden for the women before her.

As the narrative unfolds, their stories reveal the resilience of women and the powerful bonds they share, illustrating how love and secrecy can sometimes entangle and redefine generations. In whose hands does the power to bring life rest, and at what cost?
